O2 consumption was measured at 25 °C in a closed chamber (1.7 ml capacity) using a thermostatically controlled oxygraph apparatus equipped with amperometric electrode (Microrespiration, Unisense A/S, Århus, Denmark) as previously described50 (link).
ATP concentration was measured in a luminometer (Lumi-Scint, Bioscan) by the luciferin/luciferase chemiluminescent method48 . In both cases, 5 mM pyruvate +2,5 mM malate or 20 mM succinate were used as respiring substrates to assess the activity of the pathway formed by Complexes I, III and IV and the pathway composed by Complex II, III and IV, respectively.

The formation of ATP from adenosine‐3',5'‐diphosfate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) was assayed in purified OS (0.005 mg protein/mL) as reported previously. Rod OS were incubated for 10 minutes at 37°C in 50 mmol/L Tris/HCl (pH 7.4), 50 mmol/L KCl, 1 mmol/L ethylene glycol‐bis(beta‐aminoethyl ether)‐N,N,N',N'‐tetraacetic acid, 5 mmol/L MgCl2, 5 mmol/L KH2PO4, 0.6 mmol/L ouabain, and 0.25 mmol/L di(adenosine)‐5‐penta‐phosphate (Ap5A, adenylate kinase inhibitor) in the presence of 20 mmol/L fumarate; 20 mmol/L alpha‐ketoglutarate; 5 mmol/L pyruvate plus 2.5 mmol/L malate; 10 mmol/L citrate; 20 mmol/L beta‐hydroxybutyrate; 0.2 mmol/L NADH; or 20 mmol/L succinate. ATP synthesis was then induced by addition of 0.1 mmol/L ADP and an adequate volume of luciferin/luciferase reagent (Roche Diagnostics Corp.), to continuously follow ATP formation in a luminometer (Lumi‐Scint, Bioscan). ATP standard (Roche Diagnostics Corp.) solutions in the concentration range between 10−10 and 10−8 mol/L were used for calibration.

Measuring ATP Synthesis in CT26 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fifty micrograms of CT26 cell proteins were incubated in an appropriate buffer plus 5 mM pyruvate and 2.5 mM malate as described in [56 (link)] and ATP synthesis was then induced adding 0.1 mM ADP. ATP concentration was measured in a luminometer (Lumi-Scint, Bioscan) by the luciferin/luciferase chemiluminescent method [57 (link)]. In some experiments, CT26 cells were pre-incubated with 50 μM Rotenone (Sigma) 5 minutes before performing ATP measure. In all experiments the ATP synthesis rate was linear for the first 2 minutes.

Luminescent Measurement of Mitochondrial ATP Synthesis

An amount of 20 µg of total OS homogenate protein was incubated for 5 min at 37 °C in an assay solution composed by: 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM EGTA, 2 mM MgCl2, 0.6 mM ouabain, 0.25 mM di(adenosine)-5-penta-phosphate (Ap5A, adenylate kinase inhibitor), and 25µg/mL ampicillin (0.1 mL final volume). As respiratory substrates, 5 mM pyruvate plus 2.5 mM malate were added to the incubation medium. ATP synthesis was induced by the addition of 5 mM KH2PO4 and 0.2 mM ADP, at the same pH of the mixture. ATP formation was followed for 2 min in a luminometer (Lumi-Scint, Bioscan, Washington, D.C. USA) by the luciferin/luciferase chemiluminescent method (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, IN, USA). The calibration curve was obtained with ATP standard solutions (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, IN, USA) from 10−9 and 10−7 M in the same solution of the experiments [14 (link),31 (link)].

The formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) was assayed in purified rod OS (0.04 mg protein/ml) treated as above specified according to Mangiullo et al. [41] and as reported previously (Calzia et al., 2013) (link). Rod OS were incubated for 5 min at 37 °C in 50 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.4), 5 mM KCl, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM MgCl 2 , 0.6 mM ouabain, 0.25 mM di(adenosine)-5-penta-phosphate (Ap5A, adenylate kinase inhibitor), and 25µg/ml ampicillin. ATP synthesis was induced by addition of: 5 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 10 mM glucose and 0.1 mM ADP at the same pH of the mixture. After stopping the reaction with 7% perchloric acid final concentration, and neutralizing samples with K 2 CO 3 the ATP concentration was measured in a luminometer (Lumi-Scint, Bioscan) by the luciferin/luciferase chemiluminescent method. Calibration was done with ATP standard solutions (Roche Diagnostics Corp., Indianapolis, IN) between 10 -9 and 10 -7 M.
When necessary, isolated rod OS were preincubated with 30 µM RV for 15 minutes or 5 mM MTF for 2 hours.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
